Workforce advisory
Build a clearer picture of the workforce you have and the workforce you need.
Strategic workforce planning, workforce diagnostics, competency frameworks, skills-gap analysis and workforce development plans.
Workforce transformation,Funded.
Build the workforce your organisation needs with the strategy, funding and implementation to make it happen.
Ravendael plans and delivers workforce development across hiring, onboarding, skills, learning, career development, internal mobility and retention. We identify relevant public funding, manage the application, implement the programme and provide the evidence required to support the resulting claim.
From workforce challenge to working programme
Improving workforce capability takes more than a strategy deck. You need to understand where the organisation is going, which capabilities are missing and what needs to change. Then the programme needs to be funded, implemented, operated and measured. Ravendael brings that work together.
Plan
Understand your workforce, identify capability gaps and determine what needs to change.
Workforce diagnostics, strategic workforce planning, competency mapping, skills-gap analysis and workforce development planning.
Fund
Find the public funding that can support the programme.
We identify relevant grants, subsidies, incentives and other funding mechanisms, assess eligibility, model eligible costs and manage the application.
Implement
Turn the plan into working programmes, processes and infrastructure.
We implement learning, talent, onboarding, development and workforce initiatives rather than stopping at recommendations.
Prove
Maintain the records required to demonstrate what was delivered.
We support expenditure records, participation evidence, deliverables, reporting, claims, audit files and programme closure.
What we help organisations change
Workforce development touches far more than training. Ravendael works across the systems, processes and programmes organisations use to bring people in, develop them and prepare the workforce for what comes next.
Learning & skills
Develop the capabilities your organisation needs at scale.
Learning academies, development programmes, career pathways, certifications, competency frameworks and learning environments.
Talent & mobility
Improve how people enter, move through and progress within the organisation.
Recruitment operations, applicant tracking, candidate journeys, internal mobility and succession planning.
Employee journey
Create structured programmes around the moments that determine how quickly people become effective and continue developing.
Preboarding, onboarding, role readiness, development, reboarding and workforce transition.
Funding workforce development
Public funding can materially change the economics of workforce investment.
Workforce funding is fragmented across governments, regional authorities, labour agencies, sector funds and individual programmes. Each has its own eligibility rules, application periods, eligible activities, cost rules and evidence requirements.
Ravendael starts with what your workforce needs and determines which funding mechanisms genuinely fit.
Find the funding behind your workforce plans
The Ravendael Funding Finder matches your organisation and proposed workforce programme with relevant public funding.
Where several programmes are relevant, we assess how they interact and whether different parts of the programme may be funded separately. The result sets out what may be available, why it may apply and what needs to happen next.
The assessment considers
- Employee locations
- Company and group structure
- Organisation size and sector
- Workforce composition
- Skills and workforce objectives
- Proposed activities
- Project timing and budget
- Previous and concurrent funding
- Eligible costs
- Programme restrictions
Funding assessments indicate potential eligibility. The responsible authority makes the award decision.
International workforce development
Workforce strategy can be international. Funding, employment systems and programme requirements are local. Ravendael combines a consistent approach to workforce development with market-specific funding intelligence, implementation and compliance.
- Netherlands
- Germany
- United Kingdom
- Singapore
- United States
One workforce strategy, adapted to the markets where your people work.
Who we work with
Ravendael works with organisations where workforce capability has become a strategic business issue.
Leadership teams
Translate business strategy into the workforce capabilities required to deliver it.
We work on growth, transformation, productivity, workforce readiness and organisational capability, turning a need for different skills into an executable programme.
HR & People
Turn separate workforce initiatives into a coherent development strategy.
We plan and implement improvements across workforce planning, recruitment, onboarding, skills, learning, career development, mobility and retention.
Finance & Operations
Understand programme costs, available funding and the obligations attached to it.
We model eligible expenditure, separate funded and non-funded costs, track programme activity and maintain documentation for reporting and audit.
Funding is part of the programme, not the programme itself
Ravendael connects workforce consulting with funding advisory. The programme we help fund is also the programme we are prepared to implement and evidence.
- Find funding
- Apply
- Implement
- Operate
- Evidence
- Close
- Continue
From approved plan to measurable change
Once the scope and funding approach are established, Ravendael converts the programme into an operational delivery plan.
The objective is a workforce programme that operates inside the organisation and produces evidence of what was delivered.
- Workforce and capability analysis
- Programme design
- Funding applications
- Learning and development
- Recruitment and onboarding
- Career and mobility frameworks
- Workforce technology
- Programme management
- Financial and delivery records
- Evidence and reporting
- Claims and programme closure
Build the workforce your organisation needs.
Ravendael connects workforce strategy, public funding and implementation. We determine what needs to change, what funding may support it and how to turn the plan into a working programme.
